For a web application I use CSS layout wherever possible, but if the CSS way is tricky and tables will be quick and easy I'll quite happily use them. Also handy if you need a particular behaviour on a liquid layout, for example the tabs at the top of bla.st.

I could have used CSS, but they would have to be right or left aligned rather than centred (bring on inline blocks!), and they would wrap rather than squeeze up when the window gets smaller.

I'm using an older 17" powerbook, and since then the 17" screens have increased in brightness twice. The latest matt 17" macbook pro's I've seen were pretty bright, but not evenly lit at all, having distinctive bright bits top and bottom.
I haven't yet seen a 17" macbook pro glossy, can anyone confirm if it has the same problem?

Personally I'm going to go for a glossy - from what I've heard, they are a bit brighter again than the matt, making the laptop possible to use outside which would be awesome. My powerbook screen can't be seen outside at all. Also I like watching dvds and TV on the laptop so the extra colour saturation would be good.

Having a network monitor is fantastic, couldn't live without it. Handy to see if that flash file or streaming video has stalled or is actually loading. I use netmonitor although menumeters is a good free alternative. Netmonitor can show bits/s or bytes/s which is handy.

The skype button is used as a "is the internet working?" indicator. Green means you're online. Very handy if you're doing network stuff.
